Foggy Willows is a server that really tries to be true vanilla. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no datapacks and no plugins. It feels like singleplayer but with other people.

The server is always on the latest stable vanilla version. It has no world border and no teleport or sethome commands. There are no donations and it runs on a machine made just for hosting.
The difficulty is set to hard so the game is more challenging. Technical Minecraft players are welcome and there is a place for people who like to push the game and its mechanics.
This server is for people who really want vanilla with all the weird parts and hard parts. If you want lots of extra features this is not for you. If you want the game as close to original as possible then Foggy Willows is a good choice.
